Caribou
Cloudy Days
[Intro]
"Every day, is a cloudy day--
Every day, is a cloudy day--
Every day, is a cloudy day for me..."

[Verse: Caribou]
Still on my spitta' shit, I keep it low key though
Ain't dropped a tape since 2012. It's hard to cope
They probably thought I gave it up. I'm just trying to hone
My skills until I'm ready to blow
Forever alone. For a minute I been trouble prone
Never felt the need to play along. I'd rather break the mold
Are all these waking dreams just a side effect of too much smoke?
Am I too exposed?
Fungus got my brain leaking out of my nose
Spaced out, seeing spirits and UFOs
I'm sorry Mamma, I already know
I've been moving too fast but that other modе's too goddamn slow
I'm needing stimulation, sick of limitations
Fuck a stipulation, did I get abrasive?
Damn right. Bettеr step it up. Don't give me the basics
Can't write these days
Gotta to find a way to get a bit of my creative juices out of containment
It's all conducive to the way I keep a heightened elation
I think, but I'm far from certain
Trying to push it to the brink before they close the curtain
It occurs to me that uncertainty's a reoccurring theme
In my version of the world so perfect
Learning curves on an immersion search
Alert nerves to the current of the Universe
No matter what, the world turns through the change in terms
So cloudy days shouldn't phase you. Gotta let the rain do its work
No matter what, the world turns through the change in terms
So cloudy days shouldn't phase you. Gotta let the rain do its work
[Chorus]
"Every day, is a cloudy day." x4
When the sun comes you wll be free... (for me...) x2

[Verse: Jason Cole]
January rain, rain go away
Never come back again. I don't need another cloudy day
And I don't even know what's happening
It's like I'm running from the past again but never really get away
It only feels like that at first but naturally
If you try to contain a beast it will bite back
So I chose to be an animal. I'm leaking from the mandible
Like a wolf and you could never kill my pack
We're a rusty bunch of savages up under the ground
Bustin' from a lung and tongue and jumpin' around
Breaking bad up in a beaker. About to bubble, gotta trust
Been a problem with a pen and pad and hunger is a must
You could never fill my belly. The satisfaction is impossible
And even if you steal my penny
I'm gonna steal a dollar back. I need a meal, another snack
I got an appetite, for real. I'm ready

[Chorus]

[Verse: Caribou]
Mind-states, dreamscapes, lost in translation
Trying to induce transitions amidst these hallucinations
I got a fortune the other day that said you need to be patient
So I'm sitting in the rain. Let it wash away whatever it may
My thoughts? Calculations
Of an outdated brain craving stimulation
Using my language to paint with, I can't vocalize
All the signs that I find inside of life's arrangements
The whole mosaic is just so amazing, isn't it? Yes!
But we don't notice the blessings
Due to the stress and the mess in the thick of the debts
We lose focus on depth and get depressed. Positive thinking
Is the most powerful thing we allow ourselves to forget
Damn. That ain't the way it should be
But that is how it would seem when every single day
You're peeping the same scene trying to see a different thing, now
[Chorus]

[Verse: Jason Cole]
I'm tryna get up out the center of the storm
A wise man once informed me the clouds are at war
And I'm torn between them and I'm bored with freedom
I need something to try to hold me down
Implored by a poor demeanor. I'm from a portal of people
That always found another reason to frown
This town doesn't help. It's so dark and gloomy
I'm never gonna let the negativity consume me
I wanna win the battle and defeat the alter ego
Proving the past is simply personality placebo
It doesn't define you so shove it behind you
Don't ever let it hover up above or beside you
Everyday is a cloudy day for me
But when the sun comes you will be free
And the rain won't fall because the brain won't tolerate
The pain so it vacates the hate
If you permanently feel like a worm in dirt
That can't seem to find a way to burst out the earth
You need to find out what's holding back your perception
Of the serpent inside you and burn the curse
Everybody's been hurt. I know the pain's the the worst
But you have worth as a person with purpose first
No matter what, the world turns through the change in terms
So cloudy days shouldn't phase you. Gotta let the rain do its work
